1/ I remember interviews of Trump in the 1980s & he wasn’t that bad. He wasn’t someone I would’ve voted for for president but he had a reasonableness about him. He wasn’t horrifying.

2/ He changed over the years. It was apparently Kushner who convinced him that playing the hate card would get him elected president. I tend to think if he had stayed who he was, he still might have won in 2016 & he’d probably be headed for a second term now.

3/ For so long – and I know, we still have 40 some odd days to worry about – he was such a malignant presence that all some of us could think about was how to get him out of the WH. Now that his presidency is waning, I think of him less as a danger and more as a human tragedy.

Marianne, You’re forgetting that Trump, even long ago, didn’t pay his workers, he was racist, and had bankruptcies. He is not a leader, was always selfish and self centered. He would not have won in 2O16 and Jared was right.

No one can play hate consistently. That’s a character issue. Read his niece Mary Trump book she explains how evil he has been his entire life.

This sounds like story telling.

There is no way most of this was Kushner's doing. His presidency revealed who he truly was.

Trump was always a racist, narcissistic thug, Marianne!

If he were only a rapist without being a bigot, he’d get a second term? Very sad. Thankfully, we’ll never know.

Nope no changes over the years. Ask anybody in NYC. He’s just an asshole with power now.
